Social Media for Cannabis Companies

Navigating cannabis SMM, even in 2020, can be tricky to say the least.


As more platforms loosen up their restrictions, protecting a digital asset that you do not necessarily control comes with higher stakes than ever.  Reaching your audience is hard enough in any industry, but the residual stigma toward cannabis companies makes a key component of your marketing that much more difficult.


Leafly, MassRoots and weedmaps have collectively become the Yelp of cannabis brands and having optimized profiles, menus and products is no longer optional.

Challenges 

The crowded cannabis space thrives on social media because it is exciting, but it takes something special to stick out amongst the crowd. Restrictions and TOS violations on organic and paid reach further sticky the situation because off the stigma still attached to cannabis. The advertising hurdles vary greatly from region to region and best practices include having an SMM professional optimize your social assets and strategy as well as directly manage any CPC campaigns.

Solutions

Deep into my second decade of professional social media management and the platforms have gotten inexplicably more difficult to DIY. Any SMM strategy for 2020 and beyond must include realistic expectations, a complete committment to success and an exit threshold in case of negative ROI.  Not every platform works for every niche and devoting resources better used elsewhere for the sake of brand placement is a decision requires stellar forethought.

Success

Thousands of likes, seamless and rapid interaction with your current and future customers, options for extremely cost effective paid ads and most importantly, an avenue for perpetual content marketing that gets indexed and creates backlinks to your website.



Social media is the world's water cooler and you need to be there on multiple levels for reasons that may not even be clear just yet.
